Collapse

Bound in chains to this cruel mockery of life, even the bravest would crack and crumble. How would he stand where the strong fell – no more than a child amongst giants, a tiny, cowering mote in a vast swell of shadows? This guilt, this burden, was his alone to bear – this hell, his alone to suffer. And all he could do was cry and beg, curled up in the comfort only his lonely arms could give, and wait as his world collapsed around him.
